7 days from now, I’ll be in a hospital room recovering from surgery, wondering what the hell I’ve done to myself.
Maybe.
See, the surgeon’s office never sent in the pre-auth request despite this being on the books for months. I reached out in early April and heard nothing. I finally CALLED a week ago and heard nothing, but the next day I saw the pre-auth was done and approved, the day before.
But it was done WRONG (done as outpatient vs inpatient).
I called immediately and they redid it Friday but it has not been approved yet.
I see the doctor for pre-op on Thursday and I will have words about this screwup. Last year’s surgery, his office got it done WELL in advance.
